Our History

Verne Cummins first began peddling his home-made cider door to door in Salamanca in 1932. Two years later he opened the Cummins Cider Mill in Allegany from 1936 to 1946. There was a 12 year hiatus until he opened the Cummins Cider Mill in Portville in 1958 which is the mill you see it today. Slowly but surely over the years the building was improved and expanded.

Back in those early years, there were constant apple shortages. So he often times had to go out of state to get the specific apples and the quantity of apples he needed to meet local demand.

A mainstay of Verne's success was his wife, Virginia, who helped him run the business and ensure that customers always left happy with their Cummins Cider Mill experience.
